The Story
Vom Roten Schiefer means "from the red slate," and that's exactly what this is - your entry point into the Roter Hang, blended from declassified fruit off Gunderloch's three grand cru sites: Rothenberg, Pettenthal, and Hipping. Think of it as a baby Grosses Gewachs. It's very dry, barely a whisper of sugar, and it channels that signature iron-red minerality without asking you to think about it too hard. Johannes Hasselbach farms organically, and the wine drinks with an easy, smoky, slate-driven clarity. The most affordable way to taste what makes this stretch of the Rhine so special.
